Nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved a lot of lives and it brought an end to World War Two.I have known that since back in the 1940's. cuhulin Unless you were there, in the planning rooms for the invasion, with the appropriate clearances, I doubt you knew that. Then again, I doubt you knew how to read, so you might have made a fine message boy. Unlike you, I have actually studied the planned invasion campaign. It would indeed have saved lives, but not because Rush told you to believe that. For those who really think the surrender (which were more a, let's go back to status quo ante) overtures to the soviets were genuine, or even possibly going to be honored, perhaps you should study up on what happened the night the emperor recorded his "surrender." I quote that because he never said that; rather he said that we would have to "endure the uneendurable" and that "the war effort has turned distinctly to our disadvantage." Anyway, the head of NEC, a couple more execs and techs came over to record two master discs. The military wasn't ready for that, and they had planned on assassinating everyone around the emperor and holding him captive, along with destroying those discs. The discs were hidden in two different places, and several people protected the knowledge of where they were with their lives, ranging from personal servants, to NEC people. The military guys tore the emperor's palace apart looking for the discs and didn't find them. The disks were recorded late at night, by dawn, the coup leaders realised their efforts were hopeless. The leader committed suicide. Fittingly, his hara-kiri didn't kill him immediately, he lived for several hours, undiscovered, impaled on his sword in a chair. Now, had the invasion happened... well, first off, no fighting soldier taking place in the first week was expected to survive. None. 100% casualties. However, the allies expected to eventually push inland. The goal was to take half of a single Home Island, protect that part, literally -- not figuratively -- pave it over to make it one huge airbase, and then continue on from there. If you think the bombs, or the firebombings which were worse, were bloodbaths, you hadn't seen anything. -- Eric F.

Clearly you haven't heard of the firebombing of Tokyo, which was more destructive to lives than both atomic detonations together. And so what. Both the firebombing and the nuclear explosions were designed to get the Japanese to stop fighting a losing battle. One that would have cost our side and theirs huge numbers of killed had a land invasion taken place. The point, which you seem to have missed, too, is that just because it used a fission reaction doesn't make it the ultimate evil. Tokyo, Dresden, Koln were all far more destructive. I'm not talking about motives here, so spare me. The POINT is, the nukes were destructive as in what a single bomb could do, but they sure as hell weren't when compared mission-for-mission. I would have far rather been 5 miles away from Hiroshima than 5 miles away from Dresden. I suspect even at that distance I could have been sucked in by the firestorm. -- Eric F.
